[QUOTE]
"I showed my class Bergman's last movie, Saraband. The class found it
hard to take. ...The emotions are so strong and powerful, and
beautifully enacted -- they didn't know what to do with it....They just
sat there in silence, nobody moved, said a word."
-- Irving Singer

[QUOTE]
"I'm trying to go back to the issue, what's poverty of the stimulus all
about. When you say it's a problem, it's a problem for the learner and
not the linguist. It's a tool..., only a blunt tool...."
-- Josh Tenenbaum
